Bruno's Dream

Bruno, dying, obsessed with spiders and preoccupied with death and reconciliation, lies at the center of an intricate spider's web of relationships and passions: Bruno's estranged and grieving son Miles; Danby, Bruno's widowed son-in-law, consoling himself with the Adelaide the maid, one of Murdoch's finest comic creations; creepy Nigel the nurse and his besotted twin Will, fighter of duels. The flooding Thames brings about the climax, and all are left changed by love and forgiveness before the old man's death.Author: Murdoch, Iris,author,Irwin, Robert,introduction Contributors: Murdoch, Iris,author,Irwin, Robert,introduction Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 304 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 1 Feb 2001 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Vintage Publishing Author/Director/Artist: Iris Murdoch Dimension (cm): 197x130x19 mm Package Dimension (cm): 22x194x130 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 222
